| Description:
| Aims: * To develop and practise engineering experimentation and computational skills required in the chemical engineering discipline. * To enhance students' abilities to present and interpret technical information. Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit students should be able to: * Conduct supervised chemical engineering experimentation. * Use the resulting experimental data, analyse it and use it in advanced engineering calculations to demonstrate a scientific hypothesis or an fundamental engineering concept. * Conduct appropriate error and risk analyses. * Communicate experimental and scientific results in written and oral form. * Prepare reports to high technical and linguistic standards. * Use a process simulation package (e.g. ASPEN or other computer-based tools) to represent an individual process unit (e.g. a heat exchanger) and connect units in a simple process flow diagram. * Prepare sketches and outline engineering drawings of process equipment, including the performance of preliminary design calculations to estimate the thickness of the walls of a pressure vessel and its flanges. Skills: Presentation skills [F,A] Teamwork skills [F] Use of log books [T,F,A] Data management and analysis [F,A] Quantitative and qualitative error analyses [F,A] Problem solving [T,F,A] Engineering drawing skills [T,F,A] Content: A total of 11 laboratory, coursework and team-working exercises. |
